Pineapple Banana Smoothie

Sometimes with the colder weather marching in, it’s nice to have a little reminder of the summer days left behind.

And yeah, it might also be nice to get in an extra serving or two of fruits and veggies when you’ve eaten nothing but leftover Halloween candy all day.

Either way, a pineapple banana smoothie may be just what you need to bring back warm memories and whittle your waist! Oh, and guess what? It has spinach in it! Even better? Your kids will never know! This pineapple banana smoothie might even become a lifesaver for those wonderful mornings when no one can get their crap together and you need breakfast on the go. Lord knows we can use all the help we can get in this house!

I used my new Ninja Kitchen System to whip this tangy drink up, but you can also use a traditional household blender as well.

Pineapple Banana Smoothie – with spinach

1 ripe peeled banana

1 cup fresh pineapple

1 cup fresh spinach leaves

1/2 cup orange juice

1/2 container banana or vanilla flavored yogurt

8 – 10 ice cubes

Throw everything into the blender and whip it, whip it good!

Once you have a smooth consistency, pour in a cup, add a straw and enjoy! Oh, and give some to your kids – I GUESS.

Tip: add a little more OJ or a few extra ice cubes depending on your thickness preference.
